Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Open redirect

EUVDB-ID: #VU80089

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41080

CWE-ID: CWE-601 - URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.

The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data, if the ROOT (default) web application is configured to use FORM authentication. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.

Mitigation

Update the affected package tomcat to the latest version.

2) Resource exhaustion

EUVDB-ID: #VU81728

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.

Mitigation

Update the affected package tomcat to the latest version.
